Not too deep. Not much plot. Just the way I like it....more

While this isn't my favorite in the I read this about a week ago and had to taken some time to digest it before I could come back and write a review. While this isn't my favorite in the series (I find I'm very, very loyal to first books) I found this to definitely be the most emotional book of the series. I struggled at first with the flip back 25ish years to the 80s, but once the initial shock wore off I found that I really loved learning about the monster world from the "monster's" POV (which is rare in Lily books).
This is the story of two sweeties with tragic pasts who find each other and build the most loving, accepting relationship with one another. I don't want to really spoil anything, so I won't get into too deep of detail here, but truly this book was heart-warming at times and then heart-wrenching at others. Less monstrous, compared to the previous book, Seraph, but no less beautiful of a tale....more

THREE FUCKING DAYS. I'm addicted. I can't stop thinking about them. They're cliche and ridiculous, but that's their charm. They cover every trope imaginable (I kind of feel like Hazard must have been throwing a dart at a board and just pairing tropes together at random) and are unbelievably high on the spice. There's some fucked up aspects like homophobia (internalized and externalized), dark themes, Stockholm-y syndromes, and more. But I flew through them like I was under a druggy haze of horniness than couldn't be stopped. Now I gotta read everything else by her....more

I am so, so, so glad I just recently read Heated Rivalry and didn't have to wait long for the sequel like everyone else because I would have keeled over and died if that was the case. In this case though I'm going to keel over and die because this was the sweetest fucking thing I ever read and also emotional and also sexy as fuck and I simply cannot handle it.

Me after one chapter: "Is it hot in here? Why am I sweating so much? Why can't I breathe?"
This book is literally insane. Like...HR nightmare, for sure. BUT...I'm starting to kinda think everyone should have to fuck their boss to get a day off. I mean, if it's gonna be that hot?
Did this book have much of a plot without the sex? No. Other than a slight detour into stray dogs, tortillas on top of the car, and a hoarding situation. But it makes sense given that it originated on an erotica website. Still, this was hot, fun, and unbelievably sexy for those who like the idea of transactional relationships turning real.
I can't believe it took me this long to read something so deliciously filthy. This has a paperback and I'm trying to figure out if it's appropriate to put it on my wishlist for Mother's Day presents...I'm gonna go with yes....more

I mean, the fraternity-hazing thing had me having a literal anxiety attack the entire book but the overall story between Mark and Deacon was really cute and hot.

Neve Wilder creates characters you really care about and become invested in and these two were no different. Their dynamic was really sexy and the backstory, while really emotional at times, was really wonderful for bringing the characters together....more

I wasn't sure it was possible to top Neon Gods because, let's be honest, Hades and Persephone are the ultimate paiWow. This book is... well, electric.
I wasn't sure it was possible to top Neon Gods because, let's be honest, Hades and Persephone are the ultimate pairing, but dang if Psyche and Eros didn't step up to the plate with this one.
Psyche is a plus-sized, social media influencer who is too kind for her own good. Eros is a (very hot) murderer whose conscience is starting to rear its head...just in time. And then there's the evil mother, ready to kill to keep her son to herself.
This was a wonderful grumpy/sunshine, fake-dating/marriage of convenience story with tons of heat. ...more
I'm not even sure where to start here. I just loved this book. It was sweet and romantic, it was hot and filthy, it was touching and beautiful. Sigh.

Stella was an out-of-the-box heroine for sure. She's an ex-con, recently released, and trying to find her way back to society. She could not be a more surly, Grinch-like character but, as with the Grinch, you empathize with her. You root for her. I loved learning learning struggles of reintegration after incarceration: her strained relationship with her family, setting boundaries with the best friend who was partially to blame for landing her in prison, the difficulties of finding work & trusting others. Tessa took a delicate subject and went at it in a respectful way which I really appreciated.
Aiden was the bubble-butted, giant, dorky hero we all love to love. He's the Cindy Lou Who of this story & he wears the role so well with his adorable holiday-themed bow ties and love of hot chocolate & over-the-top Christmas decor. He wasn't without his own demons though and it was a relief to see that there was depth and realism to his Nice Guy persona. He needed Stella as much as she needed him.
Now, this is a Tessa Bailey novel so, of course, it's hot as can be. Though I was surprised that it took longer than usual to get to the actual heat (not long long...just Tessa Bailey long). But, my God, it was worth it. So worth it. Turns out Nice Guy Aiden has a smutty, filthy mouth. And gets a bit rough in the sack. Yum. Stella isn't all Miss Innocence either with her wandering finger (Tessa heard we wanted more ass play in our romances and she delivered, y'all).
Window Shopping comes out October 19th (so you don't have to wait for the holiday season to get your holiday romance fix). Pre-order it immediately....more
